Why is My Poop Stuck?

What does it mean when you feel like your poop is stuck? Either you need to go, but it’s not coming out OR you are going, but it seems there is more that needs to come out. You might think that eating more fiber or drinking more water will do the trick, BUT in this episode, we discuss the three main reasons your poop might feel stuck … and what you can do about it!
